Support of Dolby, DTS, e

I was going to purchase the X-Fi Platinum today online but I'm going to wait until somone can tell me what the following means?. There is a note that states "this [presumably the downloaded] driver does not support the following:? Decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS signals, DVD-Audio, DirectSound-based EAX games, 6. speaker mode. SPDIF passthrough is supported on Vista 32-bit only (that's what I have) and applications from the original Sound Blaster X-Fi CD will not work with this download."? What does?all of this mean?I saw from previous postings some discussion that DTS was never supported by Windows Media either.
But does this mean I won't be able to play DTS or any of the other modalities on my computer??Is there a patch in the works?

What that means is that the software that comes with your installation CD isn't compatible with Vista and neither is DTS/Dolby Digital decoding.
Although, if you look through the forum, you'll find topics on how to get X-Fi software working in Vista and DTS/Dolby decoding.
I can tell you from experience that the link providing the UPax X-Fi software works very nicely but I haven't tried the DTS workaround yet.

  • No Dolby/DTS decoder tab in audio console after installing new driv

    Using X-Fi Elite Pro and Vista 64-bit /w new 2.8.0004 drivers. Notes in the lastest driver says that Dolby/DTS encoding is enabled for Vista, but I'm not seeing the decoder tab like other people have. Can I still decode with my soundcard using method 2 in this thread

    I have the X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard and Vista Ultimate x64 SP, I get the decoder tab in both creative audio console and Creative Console Launcher (All modes). In order to get the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder tab in both creative audio console and Creative Console Launcher (Entertainment mode, game mode, ect) you have to install the following.

  • Vista x64 Dolby/DTS (Games and Vid

    Has anyone managed to get Dolby 5. working with CSS in Vista x64. The problem I am experiencing is that when I set my default playback device (in Vista) to speakers I am able to enable Dobly 5. in CSS but I only get Stereo sound. If i set my default playback devivce (in Vista) to SPDIF out CSS?is unable to enable Dolby 5. and detects only stereo speakers.
    As for Dolby/DTS in video clips they seem to work fine in PowerDVD and Windows Media Player. But I do need to switch my default playback device (in Vista) manually to SPDIF for it to work. Can this process be automated? Do I have to use a different filter (I am using AC3Filter) for video clips in Windows Media Player or can I somehow use the PowerDVD decoder in Windows Media Player?

    DDL and DTS Connect for x-fi are software based and it sucks.
    in order to get the best results and compatibility you should an external encoder.
    Creative have them for 25 bucks, not hbest solution, but it woks flawlessly .

  • Trouble using Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video editor with an external Dolby / DTS Deco

    I had purchased a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video editor for following two requirements,
    I wanted to be able to Digitize video from almost any source.<
    And I also wanted to have an external Audio Card that I could share between my Home Desktop / Laptop and let Digital Audio Signal get to my Yamaha Reciever that powers a Bose Home Theater Speaker System.<
    My typical connection setup is,
    Desktop / Laptop >> USB 2.0 Shielded Cable >> Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor >> Optical Out >> LC Optical Cable >> DVD Optical In of Yamaha reciever
    I do not have WinDVD or any other program that can allow SPDIF in Pass Through Mode, so I use VLC as my media player. While playing DVD / other DivX / XVid videos with Dolby / DTS / AC3 audio track I get the option of setting the audio to SPDIF Pass through Mode and that's how I use it.
    It had been working fine for a while (6 months) and then I was not using the card for a while (been busy at work). And since then I'm not able to use this in SPDIF Pass Through Mode any more.
    Each time I select that mode in VLC the player kinda freezes and plays Media File with breaks, making it just un-usable. In case I leave the player audio option to Stereo output?mode it works fine, but I do get only Analogue Audio deli'vered to the External Recei'ver and to say the least, after listening to DTS / Dolby audio this simply doesn't cut it.
    I've already updated the latest drivers from Creative Site, have tried the card with two different Dell Laptops (D820 and D80) and my home desktop. It gives exactly same result in all cases.
    I've not tested DTS Decoding output from the Device itself, 'cause I don't have sufficient cables to take decoded output from the device and send that to the receiver. But in case I opt that option in VLC player The player keeps playing Video without any issues. I can't validate if it's decoding correctly or not, 'cause I don't have cables to connect all that outputs to the receiver.
    Can my problem be related to anything on the Optical connection cable itself?
    If someone could shade some light on this issue that would be really helpful.

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem and would very much like to know if there are 64bit drivers available.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Does the SB Live! 24bit External support AC3 and DTS pass-throuht on its SPDIF interfac

    I know this card does not support hardware decode of AC3 & DTS, but does it has the capability to pass throuht the AC3/DTS signal to a external home theatre system ? Or only support PCM signal on it ?
    Thanks,

    Thannks for your reply. The problem occurs when trying to play DTS audio CD, not DVD Audio. I've tried to play DTS audio both from the original DTS audio CD and from saved to the hard disk DTS audio tracks. In both cases the players ( Media Player Classic, WinDVD6, PowerDVD, JetAudio ) are configured to use S/PDIF, and the result is either noise or silence. When a player able to decode DTS is configured to play through soundcard's speakers then the sound is decoded and sent to the receiver as PCM and played as stereo. I would like to use the AV-Recei'ver as decoder and amplifier ( not only amplifier ), because of two reasons:. The?signal sent to the receiver as DTS audio is decoded and played as 5. channel audio. This is? exactly the same as playing DTS audio CD on the conventional DVD Player, connected to the AV receiver?through?the digital output. 2. The quality of the AV-Recei'ver is greater than the quality of the SondBlaster Li've! 24bit External, so it's much better to send digital signal to the receiver and leave it to decode, convert to analog and amplify the sound signal. The most interesting thing is that the same configuration containing?the software player, the SB Li've! and the AV Recei'ver connected through the S/PDIF recognizes, decodes and plays correctly the DTS/DD sound of DVD-Video titles played on the computer ... !?! :smileysurprised:

  • Crackling on Dolby/DTS Optical inp

    Hey there, just wondering if anyone knows how to control the volume levels for a Dolby or DTS signal. I have my Xbox 360 plugged into my X-fi Fatality with the SPDIF-In Decode turned on, but any sort of high-end sound comes out as a sort of crackle, rather than being clear. I figured that by turning the volume level down for the SPDIF, it might solve the problem, but SPDIF control doesn't seem to affect a Dolby or DTS signal.
    Anyone have any ideas, or does this fall under the category of standard X-fi crackle?Message Edited by DarkAngel_ZERO on 0-7-2006 04:00 PM

    Yeah, I already tried lowering the volume output to around 70% to compensate for an earlier problem I was having with World of Warcraft and my S750 sound system (the HolyProtection.wav audio cue was causing my speakers to pop something fierce). I'll try an even lower setting, but so far, it only seems to crackle if the audio source is external, rather than internal (a DVD movie played from the PC is just fine), hence why I asked if there was some way to control the input volume.
    Also, just tried setting the output on the 360 to Dolby Digital with WMA Pro, which corrected a bit of the audio, but still caused crackling. Also, tried setting the volume level to about 50%, and still no change.
    Startin' to think this might be a software (possibly hardware) problem... I wonder if a format will prove helpful.

  • Creative, the most important feature I use is Dolby/DTS decoding

    And the current vista drivers don't include this. I really need this as I use my computer to decode the audio from my HDTV and ps3, as well as decoding the AC3 and DTS on DVDs. Ever since I got vista, I have needed to dual boot to XP to get this feature, we really need this for vista. Please make it a priority. I don't want to keep having to switch between XP and Vista.

    Quoted from http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=694?post #3:?Pre-mixed AudioSecond, with the way this new emulation structure, all ?MME? and ?Direct Sound? applications will ultimately result in pre-mixed PCM audio that is sent to the driver in one and only one format (in terms of sample rate, bit depth and channel count), and that format is governed by a control panel setting that Microsoft would prefer be configured only by the end user. This eliminates any opportunity for hardware to accelerate sample rate conversion or to take full advantage of advanced SRC technologies such as the ones used in the X-Fi product (http://www.soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/lastinfo/ssrc.asp) when using standard operating system audio.

  • Any cards support simultaneous dolby digital live and analog 2 channel output?

    I am searching for a sound card that can output both dolby digital li've and 2-channel analog at the same time. I'm not sure if any of the Creative Labs sound cards can do this.
    My Denon receiver outputs 5. in my main home theater room, but outputs only 2 channels to a separate room. I want to be able to play music in both rooms simultaneously. Unfortunately, the digital signal (which feeds the theater) is not converted to analog internally within the Denon receiver to output to the other room. The other room must receive an analog signal.
    That is why I am looking for a sound card that can output both at the same time.
    Does such a beast exist?

    My computer updated to Widnows 8.1, now my sound blaster does not work. Everything else works (DVD, CD, Speakers, etc.) but I have no sound.
    I'm not a tech person, a PC user and depend on my surround sound system.
    I'd appreciate any help possible.
    Thank you.

  • Arstechnica: Creative lies on missing DTS/Dolby Decoding feature

    Creative Says : "these functions are not supported at driver level in Windows Vista." This isn't true. When two of the driver files from a standard X-Fi card are replaced with two driver files drawn from a Dell-specific driver available at the company's support [url="http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R44728&for matcnt=&libid=0&fileid=9372">web site[/url], DTS and DD decoding immediately reappear as options and function correctly."
    "Creative might be able to get away with saying that DTS and DD decoding aren't enabled at the driver level for X-Fi and Audigy cards, but the functionality is clearly baked into the driver and is thus supported."
    [url="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/2008033-creative-irate-after-modder-spruces-up-vista-x-fi-drivers.html">Arstechnica story on the Dolby & DTS Decoding scandal
    [/url]
    Below is my open letter to Creative about this situation ....
    To Creative Executi'ves ,
    I am a core customer, someone who has been purchasing your cards for years. Hear me out.
    What you may not realize is this whole backlash about your drivers is not new, it has been building up slowly for months and has just now come to a head. With both my Audigy and more recently my X-fi Fatality card on XP, I have always used my Creative card as the center of sound on both my computer and my entertainment system. I took it for granted that after spending so much money on the ultimate sound card, that I could just plug in my cable box or dvd player into x-fi and my Klipsch speakers would hum. After spending so much money on computer speakers that would also double as my TV center speakers I was not about to buy another external decoder to do something I expect my sound card to do.
    At first after moving to Vista I thought that this feature was eventually coming, that you were working diligently to get my x-fi's decoding capabilities back. Then month after month my expectations dwindled. Imagine my anger when I come to realize that this feature was purposely removed at the software level. That by simply adding two files from a x-fi dell driver that the feature came back. Then on top of it you pour salt into the wound by never fully explaining the reason why you removed these important features. Your explanation was simply that it was not supported and that PowerDVD would now handle all Dolby/DTS decoding. After months of waiting your explanation was far from sufficient. Imagine how annoyed i was trying to figure out how to get PowerDVD to actually decode something from an outside source , which it does not. In my case, and many others on this forum your explanation was lacking. Im going to take a leap and assume that something about Vista's DRM has prevented you from decoding Dolby & DTS. If that is the case why not come out and just explain it to your customers as such. Your lack of transparency on this issue has just been plain bad and now because of it you are angering your customer base.
    Let me be clear, in my eyes, this situation has severely hurt your companies reputation and brand. The sad thing about this is that in the end this is not a story about lacking features. It's a story about a company with good products that just did not know how to effecti'vely communicate with it's customers. Will I ever buy another creative product again, I dunno. But I do know that this whole fiasco has decreased the chances that I will. If I do , it will most definitely not be one of your upper end products as I have always purchased in the past.
    Im done with this rant, im going to play some Battlefield 2 with Ultra High EAX settings. Hey, at least they did not take away all my features like they did with those poor Audigy users
    Message Edited by soundfire on 04-05-2008 09:4 PMMessage Edited by soundfire on 04-05-2008 09:45 PM

    PawPaw, I feel your pain ! I currently own both an Audigy Platinum and a Creative X-fi Fatality. The main reason I purchased the upgrade cards which included breakout boxes is for the optical/digital in feature. As I say in my letter, I have, for years hooked up my DVD and cable box to provide my theater entertainment though my computer speakers. The setup worked great?
    Creative in essence has retroacti'vely removed the feature that was the motivating factor in my purchase of their upper model cards. By making the decision not to add this "expected" feature on Vista (The default OS)? Creative, as I see it has in actuality removed a defining functionality from it's product line. It has made the front box with all it's special hook ups, pointless. Angering your enthusiast base is just not a good way to bring your company back into the green. If Creative had at least explained the reason for the feature removals, that's one thing. It would at least be a start towards improving customer communication.
    It's sad to see such a staple in the tech industry go down hill so fast. While the company executi'ves in singapore are huddling around planning their company comeback.... Which is no doubt the next greatest thing high fidelity MP3 players . They ought to take some time out to think about the customer again because a company li'ves and dies on it's customers, not it's technology.

  • Vista ultimate x64 any chance to get decoding of dts and dolby digital for audigy 2 zs platinum

    hello,
    i need the support of deconding dts or dolby digital for my audigy 2 zs platinum pro.
    is there any chance to get this feature back in vista ultimate x64?
    i hope anybody can help me.
    thanks for all

    According to Creative, Vista no longer supports the decoding of Dolby and DTS at the driver level, so no, that feature proabably won't added back in the future. It is gone for all the Creative cards.

  • How do I get Dolby digital live or DTS connect to work?

    I have the sound blaster Zx sound card and the logitech z906 5.1 surround speaker system. I am connecting to the speakers via optical cable. I figured Dolby digital live and/or DTS would sound great with this set up, only problem when I turn on either of those my speakers go silent. I set Speakers: Soundblaster Z as my default playback device but other than that I am not sure what I need to do to get it to work.
    Bruce

    I have the z 906 speakers, not the Z-5500 in your link. The manual I already have says the z906 speakers automatically detect the digital signal. I figured the Sound Blaster card would convert an analog signal to digital since it is going into the speakers through the Optical cable, I guess I was wrong.
    I have read the link about digital connections on these forums along with the notice in the cinematic tab in the Sound Blaster control panel. I believe they are both saying that I will not be able to use my music player (windows media player) in conjunction with the Dolby DTS and Dolby Digital Live, is this true?
    If so then is the only way to listen to the DTS or digital Live effects is through a DVD or Blu ray disc encoded for either of those effects?
    If this is true how do I test my dolby digital outputs to make sure they are working correctly?

  • Dolby 5.1 Support via DirectLink from Premiere

    DirectLink supports only Dolby 2.0. The Surcode Plugin for about 300€ extra costs is not supported which makes the whole workflow complicated and time-consuming.

    I'm afraid you may be out of luck as this excerpt from a review at • Camcorderinfo points out:
    "Some current HDD camcorders’ file formats have proven to be incompatible with most non-linear editing programs by encoding their MPEG-2 files with an .MOD file extension. This has left consumers with no alternative other than the manufacturer’s bundled software, which is generally inferior to an advanced editing programs like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
    The SR100 avoids some of these compatibility issues by formatting video files with the .MPG extension, but users will still lack access to the Dolby Surround Sound. Dolby has not licensed their technology to the majority of editing program manufacturers.
    In order to take advantage of the 5.1 channel sound, users must edit with the included Sony software."
    ...which of course is PC only.

    Does this driver improve sound quality or performance Are there any tweaks ?
    No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
    No, there are no tweaks.
    If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
    It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and sound fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
    If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
    In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
    I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
    There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
    Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.
    Fixes and improvements:
    - Fixed Audigy 5/RX support.
    - Readded "EndPoint Utility" to enable the use of other digital devices to output Dolby Digital Live encoded audio.
    - Fixed driver installation issues on Windows 10.
    - Fixed Audigy "1" or Audigy 2 mute issue.
    - Audigy RX is now fully supported.
    - EAX Console now works on Windows Vista or later.
    - Karaoke effects now work properly on Windows Vista or later, just use EAX Console to enable them. Effects will only be applied to the Microphone input.
    - Sound Blaster Audigy Control Panel now available for all cards, but it lacks many settings available on Audio Console, so use the later.
    - Added instructions on how to install the Gameport.
    - Fixed missing speaker settings strings on Windows XP when DDL is enabled.
    - Improved driver installation, less confirmation prompts.
    - Improved setup procedure and scripts.
    - Removed Encode switcher for now, only DDL is available.
    - Installation now customizable, select what you want to install.
    - New integrated Post Driver Install Helper tweaks the driver without tampering certificate.
    - CMSS2 is now available.
    - OpenAL 64-bit support.
    - Dolby Digital Live now works on Windows 8.1 (update 1). Creative Audio Service was not being installed on that OS.
    - Special FX, Advanced EQ, Studio and Custom presets now available on Windows Vista or later.
    - Audio Console does not crash anymore on non-English localized installs. Localized resources for Online Karaoke tab were missing; added mostly localized Korean and Chinese (Traditional) resources.
    - Online Karaoke page is available for all Audigy cards on Windows Vista or later; this is NOT a new feature, but an easier way to configure the Microphone.
    - EAX Settings for Windows Vista or later includes EAX Studio, a fancy version of EAX Control Panel, no changes in functionality, except the Test button now works.
    - Added fully localized Korean and Chinese (Traditional) resources for EAX Studio, which were missing.
    Undocumented fixes by Creative (not listed in the release notes):
    - Headphone mode now sticks and does not revert automatically to Speakers mode on Windows Vista or later.
    - Special FX, Advanced EQ and Studio presets were not working on Windows Vista or later.
    Release Notes:
    IMPORTANT: Driver uninstall on Windows Vista or later
    The included driver for Windows Vista or later has a bug that causes a stop (blue screen) error when unloaded by disabling the Audigy or uninstalling the driver.
    To workaround this issue, run the KillDrv.exe utility included and restart when asked to do so. Proceed normally and uninstall all the software or only the driver.
    If you have previously installed the Audigy 5/RX driver, you MUST run this utility.
    As the KillDrv verify the driver version installed, running it won't do any harm, even if the driver version is not affected.
    HOW TO INSTALL THE GAMEPORT DRIVER
    You can find a Gameport\ReadMe.htm file in the folder where you unpacked the Support Pack.
    Just follow the steps shown in the screenshots.
    WINDOWS 8.1 OR LATER DOES NOT SAVE SETTINGS
    - Configure all settings and shutdown. Your settings will be saved.
    - This does not work if you disable Fast startup permanently or temporarily (by holding the Shift key while shutting down).
    - On Windows 10 you need to run the application with Administrator privileges (right-click and choose Run as Administrator). This is valid for all applications used to configure the card.
    OpenAL 2D benchmark in RightMark 3DSound crashes your system
    The included driver for Windows Vista or later has a bug that crashes your system if you run the OpenAL 2D benchmark using 63 buffers.
    No problem With 62 or fewer buffers.
    OpenAL 3D and OpenAL 3D + EAX benchmarks are not affected.
    Details: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x000000D1) - ctoss2k.sys
    There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64) with 4GB RAM or more
    The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
    Workarounds:
    - install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
    - limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
    - enable the "Memory Hole" setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
    - install and use Creative ALchemy to convert the DirectSound API calls into OpenAL, which is not affected by this issue.
    Karaoke effects make the audio play in mono
    You can avoid this issue by using EAX Console to enable Karaoke effects. Audio Console is affected by the issue.
    Optionally, follow the steps below.
    Open EAX Settings, select a Karaoke effect, then click the Edit button.
    Click on the Source (Wave) tab and change the Original sound to 100% and Pitch Shift to 0%. Click the Save environment button.
    Repeat the steps for all Karaoke effects.
    These changes will be valid only for the current speaker configuration. If desired, repeat the same process for each speaker configuration.
    MediaSource DVD-Audio Player system requirements
    - 32-bit edition of Windows XP or later
    - any Audigy 2, Audigy 2 ZS or Audigy 4 card
    Built-in Decoder on Windows Vista or later
    To use the built-in decoder, make sure it is enabled in Audio Console.
    Select "SPDIF Out (Creative SB Audigy (WDM))" as the output device of your player and then configure the AC3/DTS filter to send the stream through SPDIF.
    When you restart your computer, the Tone settings (Bass and Treble) are not applied.
    Just readjust one of the controls one time per boot.
    Equalizer and EAX effects are not available when using OpenAL or ALchemy
    Only Tone (Bass and Treble) and CMSS 3D (CMSS, CMSS2 and Stereo Surround) features are available.
    There is no sound in games with OpenAL support
    Disable Advanced EQ and Special FX by selecting "No effect" before running the game or program.
    Equalizer settings are not applied after using OpenAL or ALchemy
    After you run a game with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy, the Equalizer settings are applied.
    Just run Equalizer and the saved setting is loaded automatically.
    Tone settings are lost when speaker configuration is changed
    Bass and treble settings reset to their default values when speaker configuration is changed.

    Unfortunately I don't have a sample card to test personally and don't know anyone with an Audigy 5/RX.
    Anyway, I have a suggestion.
    Run EndPtUtl.exe found in the Audio Console installation folder.
    If the issue still persists, try to use the Digital Output (Coaxial/Optical) of another device, provided that you have any on your computer.
    EndPtUtl.exe enables the use of any device for outputting encoded audio.

    Hi,
    I've got X-fi xtreme music card and recently i noticed that these icons have gone from the lower left corner of the applicaiton.
    I tried to play some DTS/DD content from the PS3 but the decoding did not work.
    Is it the same for you guys? I have not tested on some other the optical cable yet but that change is the only thing i can think of that could also be the source of the problem.
    Thanks for any pointers.

    So you waited a whooping 4 hours and you already bump the post. That's not cool.Anyway, if in this time you would have read the features of your product you would found this:The Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card deli'vers THX? certified surround sound and includes Cyberlink [color="#ff3300">PowerDVD software with DTS? and Dolby Digital?-EX decoding via [color="#ff3300">free download for an unbeatable DVD movie watching experience. The help file is generic for all the cards and some of them are supporting DD and DTS decoding in drivers.

    When I checked back my post was already at the bottom of the page, and some people may not look that far, so I bumped it to keep it towards the top, that ok with you?
    What makes you think I didn't read the features associated with the card? I even stated that in my original post. My question was about the fact that the help file contained those options in it, and even the images on the box for the card had those options showing, and yet I didn't have them. I did not know that the help file was generic to every X-fi card out there.
    So thanks for responding even though you tried to take a few shots along the way.

    From what I've seen, the most of the problems with the cards are with the 64-bit drivers. My Audigy 4 also works with the XP drivers of the CD and Vista B2 drivers as much as they should. Many people don't realize that it is a beta driver, on a new OS (which is now in final development) so some things will and will not work. Also many people don't read readmes and such and still complain on things that where stated. Such as the Vista B2 drivers for the Audigy series
    Known issues:
    * Waking your computer from sleep or hibernate mode stops audio output. To resolve this, restart your computer.
    * In this download, the Effects Amount slider in EAX is disabled.
    * To configure your speakers, use Audio Console only. Configuring your speakers in "Audio Devices and Sound Themes" in Control Panel may result in loss of audio during playback in Windows Media? Player. To resolve this issue, close and reopen Windows Media Player again.
    * This download does not support
    o Dolby? Digital or DTS? decoding
    o CMSS?-3D
    o recording
    o 6. speaker systems
    All thats stated is pretty much what people are complaining. Though its stated what won't work, they may work due to its a general driver and not a specific driver. So some may have somethings working on one card, and not on the other.
